That doesn't even come close to establishing that the federal government is empowered by the Constitution to have sole control of immigration. In fact, the word "immigration" isn't even mentioned in the section you cited.

Sorry, boy. You've run into someone who has not only read the document but who didn't even have to get out his copy to refute what you just claimed. Maybe you have read the Constitution, but you obviously disagree with its provisions.

You really are ignorant Twodees. Better bookmark that Depends link.

"Congress' power to admit aliens under whatever conditions it lays down is exclusive of state regulation. The States ''can neither add to nor take from the conditions lawfully imposed by Congress upon admission, naturalization and residence of aliens in the United States or the several states. State laws which impose discriminatory burdens upon the entrance or residence of aliens . . .  conflict with this constitutionally derived federal power to regulate immigration, and have accordingly been held invalid.''  (Takahashi v. Fish & Game Commission, 334 U.S. 410, 419 (1948); De Canas v. Bica, 424 U.S. 351, 358 n. 6 (1976); Toll v. Moreno, 458 U.S. 1, 12 -13 (1982). See also Hines v. Davidowitz, 312 U.S. 52, 66 (1941); Graham v. Richardson, 403 U.S. 365, 376 -380 (1971).)

Your fatuous arrogance not withstanding, the people who own this country are fed up with lying, manipulating, treasonous pol's who think they can do anything they please. If you are in fact in any way serious about your odiferous opinions, be very sure of your position when this all comes down like a proverbial ton of bricks-because it will, all too soon. The war will obfuscate domestic issues & patriotism may distract-but this serves only to BRING TOGETHER us birds of a feather. It really does. Your criminal aliens, socialists & goof-balls will have H---to pay when this hits the fan.

You are either a demented twit or a deliberate disruptor & I shall not read or correspond with you further. No one else really should encourage anyone of your ilk.

Sorry, boy. That's federal statute, not the Constitution. Watch for these statutes to come under challenge now that we have a President who thinks he's a wetback.
